Yes Jeff. Andy is scraping the dried blood of the inner wings of "Big, Red and Loud" as we write.

I was using Indy Cylinder Head rockers (Blue anodised) but these Hughes Engines ones pictured came up for sale (used) on here so I snapped them up because of their better shafts, hold-downs, spacers, strength, oiling and geometry.

I have moved to solid lifters so i wanted the best rockers I could afford.

It ain't really your own car 'til you've spilt some Tor Red on it, eh??

On mine I was told to shoot for 15thou max. But what the min clearence is i don't know. I would turn the engine over a couple of times and check that the spacers between rockers will spin by hand OK. But 10thou sounds OK to me.
